Westcoast music seems to be littered with bands that appeared and disappeared in quick succession having released only one album and maybe only a couple of singles. Magnet are no exception. As a result its tough to find out any information on them. Discogs tells us that they were from New York and that they split up one year after releasing this album.
Its a real shame because this is a good album. With decent management and a couple of good support slots, I can’t help thinking that they good had a pretty good go at climbing the ladder. They were signed to A&M who were pretty decent as a label, which will only have helped. In fairness it does cross into hard rock territory on occasion but there is enough here for the Westcoast fan to get their teeth into.
I’d be interested to know what you think.
